The Dynamo Sports Association ( SV Dynamo ) was the sports association of the internal security organs in the GDR ( People's Police , Ministry for State Security (MfS), Customs Administration ) and, together with other GDR-wide sports associations, formed the backbone of the GDR competitive sports system .

founding

On June 20, 1950, the German People's Police Sports Association was founded as the umbrella organization for the Volkspolizei sports communities. The chairman was the then deputy head of the Ministry for State Security (MfS) Erich Mielke . On March 27, 1953, the SV DVP, the sports associations of the MfS were affiliated and the name Sports Association Dynamo was introduced. The GDR customs administration's sports associations were added later. Mielke remained its chairman until the sports association was dissolved in 1989. The SV Dynamo was incorporated into the German Gymnastics and Sports Association from 1957 , but was in fact completely independent and was managed by a "central office" within the MfS. A comparable organization was the Army Sports Association Forward of the National People's Army .

Sports operations

The SV Dynamo were subject in addition to numerous sports teams and several sports clubs where targeted performance sport was promoted. The Dynamo sports clubs were among the most successful sports clubs in the GDR. The largest sports club of SV Dynamo was SC Dynamo Berlin with sections in almost all Olympic sports. Other sports clubs emerged from this sports club, including the SC Dynamo Klingenthal as a winter sports focus, the SC Dynamo Hoppegarten (judo, sport shooting, equestrian sports) and the FSC Dynamo Eilenburg (parachuting). In addition, there were some sports communities in the SV Dynamo, which were not clubs in name, but were promoted to the same extent as these. These include SG Dynamo Dresden (soccer), SG Dynamo Luckenwalde (wrestling), SG Dynamo Potsdam (rowing), SG Dynamo Weißwasser (ice hockey) and SG Dynamo Zinnwald (biathlon). From the ranks of the sports soldiers who train under professional conditions in these sports clubs, there were not only many GDR champions, but also numerous world and Olympic champions.

In GDR football , the two Dynamo teams from Berlin and Dresden dominated the games of the GDR league from the mid-1970s : In total, SG Dynamo Dresden won eight championship titles and seven FDGB cup wins , BFC Dynamo (affiliated to SC Dynamo Berlin ) was able to celebrate ten championships in a row from 1979 to 1988 and won three cups. The capital city club benefited not insignificantly from the support of Erich Mielke, who u. a. advocated the delegation of some of the best football players in the GDR to Berlin. The BFC also benefited from certain referee decisions. On the other hand, the referee Bernd Stumpf was suspended after the shame penalty from Leipzig , who (which is still controversial today) is said to have favored the BFC with an unjustified penalty in stoppage time in a championship game.

The hockey league of the GDR was from 1970 exclusively from the two Dynamo clubs from White Water and Berlin .

doping

The physician Heinz Wuschech (* 1933 in Spremberg) had been a sports doctor for the Dynamo sports association since 1962, had been involved in anabolic steroids research since the mid-1960s and was supported by Erich Mielke . Anabolic steroids were used at Dynamo in the training control and competition influence of all Olympic squads. For the ski jumping was Oral-Turinabol awarded.
